Family Inns billboard

I remember seeing billboards for this motel chain around Macon in the mid-90's. Over the past several years, I completely forgot about this motel chain until just before my trip to Ohio. When I was in Tennessee, I saw some of these Family Inns billboards, and I noticed that the ads look just like I remembered how they looked in the mid-90's. I also noticed that these billboards were in various states of disrepair, either with parts of the billboard broken off, or excessively dirty and faded billboards.
